9. Sporting venue

Spot......Place......Realm......Area

Got "arena" but had to first weigh if you counted "palace", as there are a number of sporting venues that are referred to by that moniker. (e.g. The Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the NBA's Detroit Pistons; Cow Palace in San Francisco)

Music educator here: not all trombones have valves. If they DO have valves, they are extra F attachments, which are not standard on all trombones. The garden variety trombone that most people are familiar with have a slide, tuning slide, bell, and mouthpiece, along with connecting tubing. Only special trombones have valves. Would would be more accurate would be if the question said "trumpet" instead of "trombone". Good quiz otherwise, got 100% on the first go.

Question for nautical folks: do you actually refer to the mechanism itself as the helm? I always thought that was just the name of the location / position of authority, but my frame of reference for tall ship terminology is old pirate books & films. I was looking for "tiller" or "wheel".

This quiz is random each time you play it, so "No. 4" isn't consistently the same. Which specific question are you talking about?

I don’t think that really works, ‘rank’ is only used in this sense when it’s referring to something disgusting or foul-smelling. Doesn’t quite mean the same as ‘obscene.’

Fun idea. For 'quantity of cookies', I picked 'tube' like a tube of Oreos people sometimes talk about. Or is that 'sleeve'? Only thing I questioned. Nicely done.

This was much easier on my second try because my brain would register the word with the missing letter sometimes, which certainly made it easier!

got them all :) though I have to admit, the rhythmical swing was a guess (slightly educated one, I thought the letters available had the most potential)

The church altar one was a slight guess, without options I would have no idea, but figured it must be chancel. We have the word kansel though I don't really know (knew) what it means, thought perhaps something they stand behind to talk from though that would be something like a katether** (hope I don't use the wrong word.. the medical one..) . And of course there is the word chancellor.

I looked it up just now and it appears kansel is indeed something to do with a church, they talk from it, but it is a raised up space. like a little balcony, called pulpit in English apparently.

So the words (chancel and kansel) seem like a direct translation of each other they refer to different things, as kansel does not refer to an area around an altar.

The word I was looking for was katheder, but apparently that is not used in english, =lectern

Great quiz idea! The only one I stumbled on was "Unemotional; impassive" where "Sober" was one of the options. I thought of adding an "m" to make Somber rather than thinking of adding a "t" to Solid for Stolid. Maybe a different word in place of Sober?
